Absolutely laugh out loud hilarious. That never happens any more!

Couple weird reviews on here with people saying this is a movie about nothing and that it's not demonstrative of any kind of real struggle. Also ignoring obviously the random transphobic people who turned on a movie about a trans person and then were disgusted about the fact that there was a trans person in the film... . but I digress ... I've got to say I thought this was fantastic. The scenes are so good that I kept rewinding them to rewatch them over and over again. The acting is so nuanced and the writing is so accurate. I'm surprised to see some of the reviews suggesting that this isn't an accurate portrayal of a queer experience, as if there was only one way to experience queerness in the context of one's family. I actually think the movie is so much more interesting because the characters family accepts him and his transition, but even with that acceptance there are so many layers of nuance in family Dynamics and human interaction that this movie captures so fully. It's definitely slow but in the best way. Highly recommend

I basically love a good bad movie. I'll sit through all kinds of Bee Movie rom-coms. Give me an Irish wish or a notebook or just some movie with a ridiculous plot that's a little bit out of left field but is good romance and I'll totally enjoy it and maybe even watch it a few times. This movie is so bad, and two great looking and great performing actors still cannot help to keep your attention. There isn't the barest minimum of an attempt to create a plausible story. None of the relationships seem to be remotely authentic. Nothing that happens seems remotely earned and it's really a waste of 90 minutes.

I'm so disappointed to report that this series is positively unwatchable. And when it comes to this particular kind of thing I am not usually someone to be very picky. I love a good love story. I love the book. I love the movie. And I'm generally Keen to watch just about any junky old romcom, or Romance of any kind and to give it a great deal of latitude to be generally less than award-winning filmmaking, and to still be into it for exactly what it is. Sometimes you just want something to scratch the edge of a particular silly romance. This does not do that at all. I was so excited to see this series was being made. And I particularly normally generally like Theo James. But he has absolutely no chemistry with the lead actress who plays Claire. The two of them together, and frankly alone, are so boring and unconvincing that I have been unable to get through the entire series. And I have tried. Multiple times. To give it another chance. To try to sit through another episode to see if I can find something redeeming in it, but I'm really sad to say it just misses the mark So deeply. If I were a better and more thoughtful film critic I could probably figure out why, but I can't. All I know is that it's really not worth a watch, and man how I wish it were.

So surprised by all the positive reviews, the show I so wanted to like but it is so Off the Mark for me. Particularly the very first and very quick recoveries that the patients make with almost no intervention and almost no time being spent with them. The first episode is a perfect example of that. It feels like one of those old-timey Style sitcoms where all the characters learn a good lesson by the end of the half hour. It really disappointing because some of the actors are amazing and it really could have been a great exploration of struggling with loss while still being humorous.

Nathan's a genius. Long form performance art at its finest. Gone off the rails in certain moments and impacts people participating, particularlh one child - actor, in a fairly negative way that may have bordered in irresponsible. But handled beautifully and with good humor in the end. Couldn't stop watching - a car accident of a show.

I read both books and I'm a huge fan of normal people both the series and the movie. Was less a fan of cwp as a book and absolutely finding the series to be Dreadful. I can't find a drop of Chemistry Between any of the actors oh, and all of the Nuance you get in the book is just not able to be communicated through mumblecore dialogue and far off stares in this TV adaptation. I am strapped to my couch currently undergoing chemo which is the only reason I sat through the whole Serieis, for want of something better to do, and hoping it would get better. It doesn't.
